Broadridge Launches On‑Chain Governance for Tokenized Equities
Source: Broadridge press release, April 6, 2026 Summary: Broadridge Financial Solutions announced a major expansion of its digital asset infrastructure with on‑chain governance support for tokenized equities. The solution enables proxy voting, corporate actions, and investor communications to be recorded securely on blockchain and integrated into existing workflows. Galaxy, the first U.S. public company issuing native tokenized equity, plans to use the platform for its upcoming shareholder vote. Why It Matters: Governance has been a core barrier to institutional adoption of tokenized securities; on‑chain support for proxy voting and corporate actions signals maturation of tokenization infrastructure and bridges traditional market requirements with blockchain transparency.

Tokenized Asset Market Hits ~$330 B, Institutional Flow Dominates
Source: AInvest News, Apr 6, 2026 Summary: The global tokenized assets market recently reached an estimated $330 billion, with centralized finance (CeFi) platforms like JPMorgan and Fidelity driving much of the capital flow. Activity remains concentrated in regulated products such as tokenized U.S. Treasuries and money market funds. DeFi alternatives attract interest due to custody autonomy but carry higher smart contract and regulatory risks. Why It Matters: The growth milestone demonstrates that tokenization is transitioning from fringe experimentation to mainstream institutional use, though it still represents a small share of total global investable capital. Regulatory clarity and deeper liquidity will be essential for broader adoption. Citation: https://www.ainvest.com/news/tokenized-assets-330b-cefi-flow-defi-risk-2604/
